Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How wonderful this world of Thine
A fragment of a fiery sun
How lovely and how small
Where all things serve Thy great design
And life’s adventure has begun anew
The life of all

Where life’s adventure is begun
In Thee the lamb





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iona's song "Fragment Of A Fiery Sun" are rich with spiritual and philosophical themes. The opening lines, "How wonderful this world of Thine/A fragment of a fiery sun" suggest that the world is but a fragment of God's magnificent creation. The image of a fiery sun reflects God's power, energy, and vitality.


As the song continues, the theme shifts to the idea that all things serve God's great design. This concept underscores the idea that everything happens for a reason and that there is order in the universe. The line "Where life's adventure has begun anew" suggests that life is a journey and that each moment is an opportunity for growth and discovery. The reference to the "life of all" speaks to the interconnectedness of all things and the idea that we are all part of a larger whole.


The final line, "In Thee the lamb" speaks to the idea of sacrifice and redemption. The lamb is a symbol of innocence, purity, and sacrifice. In the context of the song, it suggests that through sacrifice we can become closer to God.
